In 1992 Kamose released a sequel to two popular tunes he previously recorded, "Hotstepper" and "Hotstepper Returns." The latest version, "Here Comes The Hotstepper," a dazzling example of dance-hall reggae, generated interest in the international music scene in general, and the Jamaican dance-hall reggae scene in particular. While the success of Kamose's "Hotstepper" expanded global awareness of dance-hall style reggae virtually overnight, the artist has toiled for many years to help popularize the genre. At Sumfest '95 Ini Kamose was recorded live in front of 15,000 people performing songs like "Hot Stepper," "World of Reggae" and "Do You Understand." Kamose's vitality and brilliance is unmatched as he wows the crowd of die-hard reggae fans at Katherine Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica. As an artist whose success has spanned both the classic reggae and dance-hall reggae eras, Freddie McGregor with, Peter Austin and Ernest Wilson, made his initial impact in the vocal group The Clarendonians. Freddie went on to a string of reggae chart toppers including "Rastaman Camp" and the immortal "Big Ship," but it was with the harmony trio, The Clarendonians, that he was to attract a strong following with hits like "Why Did You Do It." This video includes the Clarendonians fiery performance at Sumfest '95, recorded live at Katherine Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The Clarendonians perform songs like "Let True Love Be" and "My Heart Tells Me So" for an adoring crowd of 15,000 people, live on stage. Written by Marc Cerutti See less
